1. What is the negative past simple of the following sentence: He played handball

Explanation

The negative past simple of the sentence "He played handball" is "He did not play handball." This is because in the past simple tense, we use the auxiliary verb "did" followed by the base form of the main verb to form negative sentences. In this case, the base form of the verb "play" is used after "did not" to indicate that he did not engage in the activity of playing handball.
